good answer. (edit: i wasn't being facetious, i agreed with your comment.) and for anyone complaining about "wasting time" on this issue of terminology, i'd point them to the millions of hours lost due to tabs vs. spaces

The problem is that the "public health consequences of having the schools closed on the kids" have not been defined, yet alone measured, and thus we have no basis for comparison against the fairly well-established risks of opening

I couldn’t find anything documented about the consequences of having schools closed , only the consequences of them being open . According to internal CDC documents, “fully reopening schools and universities remained the “highest risk” fo

what of those who don't quarantine, get covid, and pass the virus on to their elderly relatives? would you make the same trade?

I agree. There's already so much content and trash on Youtube that it will be a huge investment to make it worthwhile, assuming you are lucky. Creating structured, high-quality course content in a field not covered well by existing c

the comment was referring to failure in execution, not necessarily failure in choosing the correct approach. it's hard to argue that sweden shouldn't have been more careful with its elderly and vulnerable, even if going for herd i

on the other hand many places recorded record low injuries and fatalities from car crashes due to quarantine. i wonder how it balances out in the end.

you were of course correct, but your professor was simply illustrating a point- of whether we can trust our senses, of how we truly "know" something. philosophy often brings up "commonsensical" questions such as these.

you're right, not all of us can be super star devs (i certainly am not) but we can apply their techniques, mainly stay healthy and never stop learning.

given the numerous posts about age discrimination on hn, i'm delighted to hear your story and wish you many more years of happy programming. as a whipper-snapper 40-something developer, it gives me hope and motivation.

i would also prefer a more neutral grey. i'm curious as to how designers choose greys in their palette. is there something wrong with just using equal amounts of rgb, e.g. #666666 or hsl(0, 0%, 50%)? do these values not show up as &

Ask HN: Is there a search engine which includes only what the Chinese government wants me to see?

by dpau 6y ago
I was surprised to hear of blatant Covid-related insider trading by individuals in government, either some really are too stupid to know better or they feel impunity. I fear it's the latter.

It's by design. Reddit doesn't want you using the website. They want you to download the app. As numerous annoying popups and notifications will tell you when visiting the website (especially on mobile).

Yeah, I'm sorry but the idea of dealing with linux compatibility on a laptop or running Windows is a complete dealbreaker for me. despite how bad the macbook pros get i just can't switch.
